Proceeding contribution from Catherine McKinnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I not only welcome it but point out that we proposed it, and the Chancellor shortly followed us on the same day. Our proposal to bring about an immediate reduction in VAT to 17.5% would deliver that 3p fuel duty reduction for drivers and put money in their pockets not only in respect of fuel but right across the board. It is a measure that is absolutely required to turn our economy round from the double-dip recession we are in.
